Topic: New video Bach Invention 4 in D minor Pianoteq BWV 775

Dear Friends,


Bach Invention 4 Pianoteq BWV 775 is in three-sections. The exposition contains three entrances of the motive occurring at the octave. There is no counterexposition in the second section but rather only a free imitation of the motive in the second voice. A strong cadence to the key of A minor in this
section suggests a subsection. The third section begins with a quasi-exposition statement of the motive and ends with a four measure codetta. Invention No. IV is described as "gloomy" in nature, as "contemplative"  and as having "sad colors of gray and lavender"
I hope you'll like it!

Enjoy your listening & Greetings from Italy

Carmelo

My actual setting is:

Played on Yamaha P125 piano stage                                          Video Recording Samsung Galaxy A54.
VST: Bösendorfer  VC 280 Pianoteq Stage 8.4

Awesome, well done dear carmelo!
The clearness of the voices is so well performed. And your fingers technique is perfect. And I like the speed, fast, but not too fast.
Have to say the trills are fantastic - I cant do it.

Best wishes,

Stig

Thank you so much Stig for your comment and your support !!!
It took a lot of work to achieve this result, but what a satisfaction!!!!
I'm really happy you enjoyed my video. You're right, I'm slowly regaining good technique and a lot of agility thanks to Bach.
